I did a project like this a couple of month back. Found a take of stock on ebay for $50 shipped. cleaned every thing else up, Sand blasted and Cerokoted black.
Shotgun looks brand new.

Believe me I'm kicking myself as the shotgun was totally rusted out wood was trash. So a full strip and cleaning. Sand blasted, soaked in acetone, painted and baked.
After that job I'm a firm believer in Cerokote. There is no describing how well that stuff works.

I was able to get the parts from the known good doner 870 into the rusty 870 receiver.

In the process the ejector spring broke, but that was really to be expected.

The receiver is much more pitted than it appeared on initial inspection.... it has a rust type similar to the 1991A1 blood damaged evidence gun, not the buried early 1911. Deep pits surrounded by relatively unmolested surfaces.

i'd like to get one... but I'm pinching pennies right now so I can shoot rocket launchers in Cambodia

i want to hear more of this lol

Looking for a particular parts kit? Check out our parts kit locator that is automatically updated every 6 hours. Now you can see parts kits being offered by multiple websites in one location. Just select the parts kit button on the right of the home page to begin looking.-------Home Builds- 1919a4, Sten Mk3, Romy G Ak-47, PSL Pistol,Romanian RPK

they also have the ejector spring and rivet. Interestingly enough they don't sell the shell latches!! Once you have the receiver cleaned up you MIGHT consider buying the shell latches from a gunsmith because you need to stake them in place, AND they have to be on the correct side (yes, there is a left and a right). Gun show??

I got a factory mag tube extension brand new if you want it I'll even kick it through the dirt make it look beat up. if you don't want the traditional pistol grip you could always get some wood off EBAY and make a birdhead grip thats what I did for my 870 AOW

haha, if you'll seriously kick it through the dirt, I'll put it on the gun...

Been working on the trigger group.... I now know wayyyyyyy more about 870 fire control groups than I had ever intended on learning.
